WORKSHOPS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

WORKSHOPS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

It was my great pleasure to present several demonstrations to area art groups. I shared my pastel landscape techniques at the February meeting for The Visual Arts of Prosper. They were a terrific group and particularly enjoyed my sketchbooks. The Visual Arts of Texas, the Denton art organization, featured my pastel demonstration at their monthly meeting. The three-day workshop in pastel was the real joy for me. My extensive soft pastel working methods were shared with the students as well as my plein air work for gathering research. My Nature Journaling classes at North Haven Gardens continue on the second Tuesday of the month.


ROSE PAINTING DEMONSTRATION

ROSE PAINTING DEMONSTRATION

The Dallas Rose Society marked their 70-year anniversary in October. DRS were the hosts for the South Central District Rose Conference. I was privileged to be a part of that event by doing a presentation on painting roses. The lecture on the society highlights over the years was a time capsule in Dallas history.

Thank you to everyone who visited the 2022 National Juried Exhibition at the Grapevine Convention and Visitors Bureau during the month of October.

In my case H.K. Holbein Art Materials – just love the new pastel set I won.

A sincere thanks to the 23 students who enrolled in my One-Day GOUACHE class with Southwestern Watercolor Society. We had a grand time at Gallery Pure, located in the Shops at Willow Bend. I was honored to have been asked to present this class utilizing this vibrant medium.

POSTERS

Haddad's Fine Arts, of Anaheim California has published posters of three of my pastel landscapes. The series was inspired by trips along the gulf coast and my fascination for the varied lush greenery along the waterways. They are 20 x 24 inch heavy weight poster. These are available from national suppliers of fine art posters.
